According to some industry analysts covering Metallium, breakeven is near. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2025, before generating positive profits of AU$9.3m in 2026. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven roughly a year from now or less! We calculated the rate at which the company must grow to meet the consensus forecasts predicting breakeven within 12 months.
